TOMINTOUL, Banffshire, UK --Tomintoul
Distillery has produced a bottle of whisky weighing
in at 164kg and stands some 144cm tall (just under 5ft), filled
by hand with 105 litres (the equivalent of 150 standard bottles)
of 14-year-old Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet Scotch-setting
the world record for the Largest
whisky bottle.
A German glassmaker created the 7mm thick
pyrex bottle, and a massive cork was specially made to fit.
And after filling the gigantic bottle, the huge cork had to
hammered into place with a massive mallet.

"It was quite nerve-racking, filling and
labelling such a large vessel by hand and especially so when
sealing the bottle with the largest cork I have ever seen,
as it had to be hammered in with a mallet, but the exercise
went very well. It should be a great talking point for Tomintoul
Distillery, the village and its visitors.”
